Chapter 252: Don't Kill Prisoners

It's messy! The Spanish fleet was in disarray!

The auxiliary ships and the main battleships all rushed to raise their sails and turn, and galloped away to the southeast of the Tongpanyu without regard for the tail, and the auxiliary ships raised their sails and turned much faster than the main battleships, and they were in a mess, and they simply forgot that they still had the duty to cover the main battleships, and quickly sailed away.

The main battleships lined up in the northwest two corners raised their sails and turned around much more slowly, and immediately became outcasts of the fleet, and a third-class and three fourth-class battleships were immediately bitten by the four squads of the Qing battleships, and after two rounds of shelling, the huge sails that had just been raised were immediately full of holes, and the speed of the voyage slowed down rapidly.

The four squadrons of battleships of the Qing Navy, still following closely, arced one after another, and shelled the sails and masts with their sides.

Seeing the chaotic situation in front of him, Angel, the commander of the Spanish fleet, couldn't help but pat his forehead in pain and scolded hatefully: "Shit! What the Far Eastern Fleet, just a rabble! Pirates of the next three indiscriminate! ”

Looking at the four faltering battleships behind him, Angel's lips moved, and finally he didn't give an order, he knew very well in his heart that at this time, even if he gave an order, no battleship would carry it out, and it was just a humiliation, and he slapped the side of the ship hard, and he turned his head gloomily.

Shi Shibiao looked at Yinzhen's ship in amazement, and sighed: "Classic! Definitely a classic naval battle! I've fought naval battles for most of my life, and I've never dared to think that naval battles can be fought like this! Such a huge fleet, defeated, is still a mountain of defeat! ”

"Be quiet." Yin Xiang chuckled and said: "You are the vice president of the Naval Academy, if you want the naval cadets to hear this, you will lose your prestige." ”

"There are only fourteen masters in the navy who have prestige." Shi Shibi said with a pun, and then turned to Yinzhen and said: "I really didn't expect that the commander of this fleet would be such a waste, and the Guangdong Navy Division was defeated at his hands, which is really wronged." ”

"That's not true." Yinzhen shook his head and said: "The commander of this fleet is not a waste, and alternately covering and evacuating is also the best way to be in the current situation. ”

On the fast boat, the generals of the Fujian Navy Division were also dumbfounded, and the more than 20 small warships of the Navy were able to beat the huge Spanish fleet so embarrassed, like driving sheep, no one dared to believe it if they didn't see it with their own eyes. In the middle of the night, He Juncai, the chief soldier of Kinmen Town, said: "The one who defeated the Guangdong Navy Division is sure that it is this fleet?" ”

Jiang Haijiao, the chief soldier of Haitan, said with a smile: "Don't stand and talk without backache, change your sailor to try it?" Don't you see, how far away is the fourteenth master's navy from the cannons? Yesterday, they fought a battle with the navy, and Zhang Guo, deputy general of Taiwan's Naval Divisions Association, said that yesterday's artillery battle was simply shaking the ground, and people who heard it were terrified when they heard it more than a dozen miles away. ”

Although it was already a complete victory, Yinzhen did not relax, still nervously holding the telescope to watch, fortunately, the four Yande were not carried away by the victory, and the four teams were not greedy for the battleship ahead, and the four squads were in the rear and the side and rear each biting a battleship and attacking.

On the third-class battleship 'Ray Sachs, Lieutenant Commander Decker looked at several battleships that hurriedly passed them with a gloomy face, and his heart had sunk to the bottom, and for the first time he had tasted the taste of being abandoned by his comrades.

'Raysacs, as soon as the sails were raised, were beaten like a sieve by two rounds of cannonballs that came at the ship, and the speed of the battleship was like that of a snail.

There was a crisp "bang", followed by a panicked scream, the huge sail tilted and collapsed, the mainmast was broken, and Deck knew that he must have been hit by a twelve-pound or more heavy cannon, and he felt a pang of despair when he looked at the sailors and soldiers who were running in a panic on the deck, and there was no hope of escape.

Looking back at the fleet that had gone farther and farther away, a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Derk's heart, the damn Far Eastern Fleet, the temporarily assembled fleet was simply a plate of scattered sand. Glancing nostalgically at the familiar battleship, and then at the panicked sailors and soldiers on deck, Deck muttered, "It's time to die for the Empire." After hesitating and struggling for a long time, he ordered loudly: "Left full rudder, artillery ready." Strangely, there was a sudden silence on the deck, and all the people looked at him quietly, numbly, and Decker was furious, and roared: "Left full rudder, artillery ready, didn't you hear the order?" ”

His deputy, Major Kyle, pointed to the right, but did not make a sound, Deck realized that the sea was already quiet, the sound of the cannon had stopped, only the wind blew through the sieve-like sails, making a "poof" sound, he looked to the right in surprise, and suddenly his hands and feet were cold, and the fourth-class battleship 'Vadanor' on the right actually hoisted a white flag.

'Vadanore, the captain of the Vardanor, was none other than Major Saya, and after discovering that the sails had been broken and that he could no longer keep up with the main force of the fleet, he looked around with grief and indignation, and in addition to his 'Vadanoor, there was also a third class battleship and two fourth class battleships that had the same fate as him.

Looking at the other three equally broken sails, Saya had completely understood that the Qing people did not want to sink the warships, but to capture them, otherwise, their four warships would have sunk a long time ago, and if they resisted, it would definitely be a dead end, and they would not hurt the enemy at all. surrendered, all the sailors and soldiers on the ship still had a glimmer of hope of survival.

Finally, he glanced at the main force of the fleet that was getting farther and farther away, and after a little hesitation, Saya ordered, "Surrender with a white flag!" ”。

As soon as the Vadanoor raised the white flag and surrendered, another fourth-class ship immediately hoisted the white flag, and as soon as they saw this, the Qing warships immediately stopped shelling, and the battlefield fell silent.

On the third class battleship 'Ray Sachs, Captain Derk roared loudly: "Surrender is the act of cowards, do you want to be like those cowards?" Left full rudder, artillery ready! The Spanish Empire had cowards and brave and unyielding warriors! ”

After hesitating for a while, the Ray Sachs began to turn sideways slowly, and seeing that the situation was not right, Lin Wei ordered to turn around while ordering the indigenous Han Chinese from Manila on the ship to shout in Spanish: "Don't kill the prisoners!" Preferential treatment for captives! ”

Soon, the indigenous Han Chinese of Manila, who had been specially arranged on the boats, shouted in Spanish: "Don't kill the captives!" Preferential treatment for captives! The shouts resounded throughout the sea.

With the shouting, another fourth-class ship also hoisted a white flag, only 'Raysachs, the ship was still slowly crossing, on the deck, Major Kyle said loudly: "Captain, we can't attack the enemy at all, so we can only let 'Raysax, all the sailors and soldiers on the ship follow to the sea, and moreover, it will also provoke the enemy and poison the other three surrendered warships." You want to be a hero, but not all soldiers want to be heroes! You don't have the right to have all the soldiers buried with you! ”

Deckden was at a loss, he was right, he had no right to let all the soldiers and sailors on the Ray Sachs be heroes, and at this time, everyone should have his own choice.

Seeing Decker's hair, Major Kyle immediately said loudly: "The enemy does not kill prisoners!" Soldiers who don't want to be heroes, close the cannon door! Quick, close the gun door! Otherwise, there will be shelling right away. ”

After all, there are very few soldiers who are willing to be heroes, and even fewer soldiers are willing to do meaningless and obscure heroes, who came to the Far East thousands of miles to make a fortune, but they did not come in vain, "Close the cannon door!" Hang the white flag! The cry immediately rang out on the second deck

The sound of "bang" closing the cannon door sounded one after another, and the white flag was raised.

Seeing that the last third-class battleship closed all the gun doors and hung out the white flag, Lin Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Cheng captured four battleships, and all the naval cadets immediately cheered, and one cheer after another echoed in the sea.

Yinzhen's clipper with the Fujian Navy Division had already rushed over at this time, and when he saw this situation, he immediately ordered: "Lin Wei's squad stays, and the other three squadrons go to keep an eye on the main force of the Spanish fleet, and don't open fire for the time being." ”

After the three teams left, Yinzhen turned around and ordered: "Shi Shibiu, take your Fujian sailors on the ship to be surrendered, you are not allowed to beat and scold the prisoners, you are not allowed to take anything on the battleship privately, and you are not allowed to rob the private property of the prisoners, those who violate the order will be killed!"

All the soldiers on the battleship, except for the sailors, were transferred to the clipper, and these battleships should have spare sails on them, and the craftsmen on board were ordered to repair the battleship as soon as possible. ”

"Zhang Guo, use your Taiwan Navy Association warship to tow these four warships back to Magong Port."

"Lin Wei, leave the naval cadets in your team who can speak Spanish, assist Wu Ge to supervise the ship, and kill those who dare to disobey the order on the spot! Now let them translate my words to the captives and stabilize their moods. ”

"Honorable Order!" The few people who were named answered in awe.

Seeing that everyone began to surrender in an orderly manner, Yinzhen ordered: "Bring the captains and first mates of the four warships to our ship, and in addition, send another translator." ”

"Hehe, a third-class ship, three fourth-class ships, this can be sent, how can it be worth more than a million." Yinxiang smiled and couldn't see his mouth, "It's still fast!" ”

"Don't look like a rich man in the countryside who has never seen the world." Yinzhen quipped in a relaxed mood.

"There's a lot of meat in the pot, but the meat in your mouth is fragrant." Yinxiang didn't care at all, and asked rhetorically: "Next, how to fight?" ”

After a deep groan, Yinzhen said: "It depends on what the charter of the Spanish fleet is." "Min
